**[VERSE 1 — BOUNCY AFROBEATS, HIGHLIFE GUITAR]**

Mornin don broke na di rooftop,
Golden light dae shine pan street.
Somebody open door fo greet,
Somebody find new beat fo meet.

Yestadeh bin ful wit question,
Some still waitin fo di ansa.
But tiday we dae build somtin
Wit di courage na we hatsa.

Wey wan wall bin block di road,
Now bridge don open, leh we go.
Wey voice bin lost na di noise,
Now song dae welcome we all.

Not evri dream reach tiday,
Not evri road smooth or straight.
But chance kin change di journey,
An han kin open di gate.

**[PRE-CHORUS — RISING FEMALE HARMONIES]**

Yu feel di bassline dae move?
Yu hear di drum dae reply?

Tek wan step to sombodi,
Leh yu worry pass by.

Evri voice kin join di chorus,
Evri hat kin find im place.

As we move close togeder,
Smile dae light up evri face!

**[CHORUS — FULL AMAPIANO LOG-DRUM DROP]**

Zam-bo-ya! Zam-bo-ya!

Hey-ya-ya! Hey-ya-yo!

Step! Step!
Clap! Clap!

**[POST-CHORUS — VIRAL DANCE CHANT]**

Zam! Zam!
Hey! Hey!

**[VERSE 2 — FEMALE LEAD, ROLLING BASS]**

Mama get im business,
Papa wit im dream dae shine.
Farmer dey grow somtin,
Maker dey build di line.

Student learn di numba,
Trader find im way to go.
Evri pesin get im story,
Evri journey get im day.

From di village to di city,
From di mountain to di sea,
Sweefin connect we all,
Leh we dream an be free.

More people get di pathway,
Fo create, exchange, an grow.
More ideas find di future,
More communities glow.

**[PRE-CHORUS — CHOIR BUILDS]**

Yu feel di bassline dae move?
Yu hear di drum dae reply?

Tek wan step to sombodi,
Leh yu worry pass by.

Evri voice kin join di chorus,
Evri hat kin find im place.

As we move close togeder,
Smile dae light up evri face!
